RANDY Quaid might be able to stay in Canada!

The actor — who recently claimed that he was being stalked by shadowy Hollywood celebrity killers — or “star whackers” on Wednesday received a Vancouver Film Critics Circle acting award for playing a hitman.

While accepting the gong, Quaid told reports that the the Canada Border Services Agency withdrew its bid to have him deemed inadmissible.

Randy’s wife, Evi, now has full Canadian citizenship and has begun the process of sponsoring her husband, meaning Quaid’s claim for refugee status could be dropped.

“When Evi and I came to Canada last October we can never have envisioned how things would unfold and how our lives would change,” he said. “Today we’re here to say, ‘Thank you, Canada. Thank you for your warm welcome. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to live in peace.’”

The Quaids made headlines back in October when the were arrested in Vancouver on outstanding U.S. warrants. The couple had failed to appear in a California courtroom to answer to felony vandalism and misdemeanor trespass charges. They were accused of causing more than $5,000 damage at a home they once owned.

They have now missed several court dates.
